Sahara Hotel Eilat in Eilat

We were only in the lobby of this boutique hotel, which looked beautiful and special, and at the reception we received keys to the two-bedroom apartment we had booked, located about 150 meters from the hotel in Simtat (Alley) Yam Suf in Eilat. This hotel has several apartments in that building that they market under the name "Melony Apartments" in a renovated building with registered parking for each apartment and the possibility of entering an underground parking garage. We were on the top floor with an amazing view of both the mountains and the sea from our balcony. Everything to feel at home, included a Tami4 water filter, Nespresso (with a stock of capsules), a washing machine (with washing powder), shampoo, and more. A TV in each room with access to the Cellcom channel package. In our opinion it's an excellent value for those looking for an apartment (without room service) in Eilat. It is important to note that the hotel reception was very polite and asked to contact them with any questions or problems if needed 24/7. They also have WhatsApp. The door to one of the rooms that was defined as a protected room ("mamad" - acronyms in Hebrew) that, according to Israeli law, must be in every apartment built after the 1990s in Israel, would not close, probably to avoid dealing with a possible malfunction, we don't really know, but it is definitely not something good or normal. Another important detail is that the area is a residential neighborhood with mix of old, new or renovated buildings. It is not located far from a tourist area, but without a car or a taxi that will take you to a tourist area of ​​Eilat in about 5 minutes, we think you should lower your expectations of the area. We would not define it as dangerous or something like that, but it certainly includes also a very simple local population. Anyway, a fully equipped kitchen with the ability to prepare food for children was very important to us and there are several supermarkets not far away, so we left satisfied.

Clean room, friendly reception, nearby dining.

Fantastic stay, newly renovated with nice seating areas in the lobby and lovely staff. There is no outside window in the room but this was not a big deal as the room was great. We will definitely come again!

My wife and I decided on a short visit of Eilat for some Saturday morning scuba diving. We arrived on Friday around 19:00 and had no hotel reservations. One of the places we found on “an apartments for rent” application was this Sahara hotel. Spent the night there and loved it. Clean, comfortable, great air conditioning, good clean shower and great quality soap and towels. For this price - it’s a bargain.
